The engineer will work closely with Product Engineering, Design, Reliability, Applications, and Manufacturing teams throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop ATE test programs from scratch for Wafer Sort (WS) and Final Test (FT).
• Perform first silicon bring-up, engineering validation, and silicon debugging.
• Develop Functional, DC, AC, Timing, and Parametric test methodologies based on product specifications.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), Engineering Validation (EV), Product Qualification, and Production Release.
• Perform silicon characterization across Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) conditions.
• Analyze Wafer Sort and Final Test data to improve yield, optimize test limits, and reduce test time.
• Develop and debug load boards, probe cards, interface hardware, and test fixtures.
• Perform failure analysis and root cause investigation by correlating ATE and bench measurements.
• Develop automation scripts for test execution, data analysis, and engineering productivity.
• Collaborate with Design, Product Engineering, Reliability, Foundry, Applications, and Manufacturing teams.
• Maintain technical documentation and validation reports.
• Support continuous improvement of production test methodologies and test coverage.
